September 2019 Vancouver Rent Report

Welcome to the September 2019 Vancouver Rent Report. Vancouver rents increased over the past month. In this report, we'll evaluate trends in the Vancouver rental market, including comparisons to cities throughout the state and nation.

Vancouver rents increased slightly over the past month

Vancouver rents have increased 0.2% over the past month, and have increased slightly by 1.8% in comparison to the same time last year. Currently, median rents in Vancouver stand at $1,423 for a one-bedroom apartment and $1,679 for a two-bedroom. This is the sixth straight month that the city has seen rent increases after a decline in February. Vancouver's year-over-year rent growth leads the state average of 1.7%, as well as the national average of 1.5%.

Rents rising across cities in the Portland Metro

Throughout the past year, rent increases have been occurring not just in the city of Vancouver, but across the entire metro. Of the largest 10 cities that we have data for in the Vancouver metro, all of them have seen prices rise. Washington as a whole logged rent growth of 1.7% over the past year. Here's a look at how rents compare across some of the largest cities in the metro.

Looking throughout the metro, Bellevue is the most expensive of all Vancouver metro's major cities, with a median two-bedroom rent of $2,424; of the 10 largest Washington metro cities that we have data for, all have seen rents rise year-over-year, with Hillsboro experiencing the fastest growth (+3.1%).

Everett, Bellevue, and Vancouver have all experienced year-over-year growth above the state average (2.3%, 2.3%, and 1.8%, respectively).

Many large cities nationwide show more affordable rents compared to Vancouver

As rents have increased slightly in Vancouver, a few large cities nationwide have also seen rents grow modestly. Compared to most large cities across the country, Vancouver is less affordable for renters.

Vancouver's median two-bedroom rent of $1,679 is above the national average of $1,191. Nationwide, rents have grown by 1.5% over the past year compared to the 1.8% increase in Vancouver.

Renters will generally find more expensive prices in Vancouver than most large cities. For example, Phoenix has a median 2BR rent of $1,089, where Vancouver is more than one-and-a-half times that price.

Methodology - Recent Updates:

Data from private listing sites, including our own, tends to skew toward luxury apartments, which introduces sample bias when estimates are calculated directly from these listings. To address these limitations, we’ve recently made major updates to our methodology, which we believe have greatly improved the accuracy and reliability of our estimates.

Read more about our new methodology below, or see a more detailed post here.

Methodology:

Apartment List is committed to making our rent estimates the best and most accurate available. To do this, we start with reliable median rent statistics from the Census Bureau, then extrapolate them forward to the current month using a growth rate calculated from our listing data. In doing so, we use a same-unit analysis similar to Case-Shiller’s approach, comparing only units that are available across both time periods to provide an accurate picture of rent growth in cities across the country.

Our approach corrects for the sample bias inherent in other private sources, producing results that are much closer to statistics published by the Census Bureau and HUD. Our methodology also allows us to construct a picture of rent growth over an extended period of time, with estimates that are updated each month.

About Rent Reports:

Apartment List publishes monthly reports on rental trends for hundreds of cities across the U.S. We intend these reports to be a source of reliable information that help renters and policymakers make sound decisions, and we invest significant time and effort in gathering and analyzing rent data. Our work is covered regularly by journalists across the country.

We are continuously working to improve our methodology and data, with the goal of providing renters with the information that they need to make the best decisions.
